No. It's an absolutely essential part of any substantial Access application.

What's bad is using the "Lookup Field" misfeature in Tables.

Store data in your tables; put Lookups - Combo Boxes - on your Forms, and do
the data entry and editing on the Forms, using lookups wherever they are
needed.
 
Thank for the clarification. It id clear now
